Games That Deserve a Remake/Sequel

The industry has been making games for more than a decade, and many of the games we get nowadays are sequels or remakes, but not all deserving games are remade or given a sequel. Here's a list of games that fell through the cracks.

Kingdom Hearts III

Third installment to Chrono Trigger (but a true sequel to it.)

More Oddworld games.

This is all I really want.

bustercube5159d ago

Yes Oddworld was fantastic, but I didn't really care for Strager's Wrath that much.

MariaHelFutura5159d ago

Bushido Blade with dismemberment and decapitation using the PS Move.

BiggCMan5159d ago

MIRROR'S. FUCKING. EDGE!!! That game was ridiculously underrated man. The only problem with it was that it was short, and there was not much to do after you beat it. Otherwise, it was a fantastic game.

System Shock 2? So they can do a Deus Ex on it, yank the soul out of it, turn it into a futuristic CoD and screw it up? So they can build mechanics they think are cool and then wrap the story around mechanics? (which is the backwards approach to a great game)

No. System Shock 2 was made during an era when titles were forged out of dedication and love of the story. Outside of CD Projekt the studios that still operate in such a manner are all but dead.

Just download the Hi res pack (SHTUP) and the Hi audio pack and get SS2 up and running. You would be amazed how good it looks and plays. Everything is here:

Too often a remake results in squeezing everything out of the original that made it great. And I have said it on this board many times. Unless the original people were handling it then just leave it alone.

bustercube5159d ago

Legend Of Dragoon nuff said.

bustercube5159d ago

gillri5159d ago (Edited 5159d ago )

Well I saw System shock 2, well thats one of the big shouts...and was waiting for the other biggie as I went down the list

and there it was......Shenmue!! please just release it Yu!!

sequel of chrono trigger also

Series_IIa5159d ago

Just been playing GTA: San Andreas on my 360...

It looks terrible on a large widescreen TV with so many jaggies and pop in, also because of the xbox's emulation some of the cut-scenes are out of sync with the audio.

This game begs for a HD remake.

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

YourMommySpoils13h ago

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning771d 14h ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

@christopher: “ That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest”
The key word big can be ether good or bad 🤷🏿only time can tell

DarXyde15h ago

First Forza being generated entirely via AI?

If any company would do it, it'd be them.

Nacho_Z4h ago

Isn't the point that it's irrelevant how profitable MS is, the suits have decided it's time that the Xbox division started making them money. Hence the layoffs, the pivots.

hennessey861m ago

That wouldn't surprise me, as motorsport has been heading down hill since the great number 4. Where as playground have consistently put out better games. I think the two studios will be merged under playground games banner.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

M3talDiamond4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition

-Foxtrot3d ago

I never knew Ross Scott was doing this

I love Freemans Mind

Inverno3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.

GazCBG3d ago

The EU Date is the 31st July not the 3rd

Project: Horned Owl Review

From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
